This artist's illustration shows GJ 251c, its sibling planet, and the red dwarf they both orbit. GJ 251 c is a rocky super-Earth in its star's habitable zone. At only 18 light-years away, it's a strong candidate for direct imaging. Image Credit: University of California Irvine; Michael Marcheschi / m2design
